From a reader:
It occurs to me that with all of the hoo-haw over the Patriot Act from the
left, their stance on gun control becomes less credible. Let’s say you
could repeal the 2nd amendent, via a new amendment. Let’s say that the
liberals get control of the government again and pass a total ban on all
firearms. Do you think that they realize the level of police intrusion it
would take to enforce such a law? Or are they willing to tolerate it when
it comes to their own pet issues? It just seems disingenuous to me that the
libs would carp over the Patriot Act when a total gun ban Act would require
ten times the policing.
